Comskip Npvr

[soccerdad]

Thanks sub,
comskip is not super accurate for digital channels.(since I have not spent time tuning it). So I wait for a commercial and then just hit play. then manual skip forward or back if it misses. It is easier than it sounds. I will bump it tomorrow.

Its either auto skipping or entirely ignoring the comskip files. There is no equivalent in NPVR of what you describe. I didnt think anybody used that feature in GBPVR.

Well I'm a +1 for this as well & it is actually a +3 as I know two of the others users I help out also use it.

If you bump the thread tomorrow though, I'll provide a patch which adds the 'play' to skip manual style skipping.

Yes please sub. Even with GB-PVR I used Play-to-skip sometimes, and that was with DVR-MS files where the auto-skipping was pretty accurate... comskip itself can be fooled on some programs. With .ts files the auto-skips will be off (usually early in my past experience), so I'll want to run with auto-skip off; when I get to a commercial I'll hit play to skip most of the commercial, then small skips to find the rest of the show.
Sorry if this is some of that cruft you wanted to be rid of

Hi sub,

I am sure you don't need a bump of this, but when you look at it I have another favor. Can you get rid of the channel number that is sent with the file name to comskip during the PostProcessing.bat launch? It is confusing comskip and seems to be a pain to filter out. Or conversly, if the number needs to be there, can it be always 4 digits like 0005. That seems to be easy to cut with the batch file.

That number must NEVER go away, it's very useful to filter out channels without commercials, saves a lot of time especially for HD-recordings when you don't need to run Comskip on them. As for batch file handling the following links may be useful:

Thats fine, I just need to figure out how to handle it then. I assume everyone else has this issue. Hopefully someone will post a batch that works with 1-4 digit channel numbers. It seems that you use the number, what do you do?

actually, the problem is simply that the path argument to postprocessing.bat doesn't get enclosed in qoutes anymore, so spaces in the filename are confusing the parameter count.
if sub could just add the quotes, it would be very helpful, and comskip could be called simply with
comskip.exe %1

RTFM, learn how it works and make your own, that way you get exactly what you need.

I only use manual skipping as comskip has been wrong many times for me. I would appreciate manual skip returning if possible. I also use the channel numbers to filter what comskip profile is used depending on the channel.

I spotted this yesterday, and have added the quotes for the next build.
